Problem with Hindus and Why I Won't Help Anyone Anymore

TL;DR: Half-truths are more dangerous than lies. I once asked my father to read the Bhagavad Gīta, just so he will be able to have a conversation with me. But that prompted him to just start watching the Mahābhāratam TV show. Now first of all, it is a TV show that alters the true story to suit the audience's feelings. But even ignoring that, there are bigger problems. Mahābhāratam is a story that illustrates all the wrong things people did that led to a war, with which Śrī Kriṣṇa illustrates the right path to live, in the Bhagavad Gīta. All anti-religious idiots too do the same thing by criticizing the actions of people in Mahābhārata. Then those same idiots would think that it conveyed the idea that it was moral to sit silent during the dice game and as Draupadi was being disrobed. That would give them a good rationale to criticize it. But then their opinions are irrelevant because they actively ignore the context or tātparya (what it's trying to convey). You see, half-truth ...

Good commie and Bad commie 2

Basically, a good commie is simply someone who wishes that all people will attain peace. But he does not try to control others in order to attain that goal, as that is against the idea of giving peace to all people. For the same reason, it is one who meditates on: 🕉️ Asatoma Satgamaya, Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya, Mrityoma Amritamgamaya. 🕉️ Shanti, Shanti, Shanti Hi: A bad commie chastises others, and in the process, he destroys the very foundation on which he built the notion of communism. It is said that the idea that the nature of man is egoism is to say that the nature of a factory worker is to cough, and that it is only a problem of capitalism. However, they forget the fact that it is the nature of nature of man to be capitalist, and not the nature of something else. To explain this paradox, the bad commie simply dehumanizes the capitalist by saying he is not a man, but is a demon. So they bring in superstitions to make these claims. (I guess communism is not about peace for all, but ...

Worshipping Eeshvara vs deities

In Advaita Vedanta, though Eeshvara (Brahman) is the creator of Maya, he doesn't do anything else within it. The only understanding one gains from knowing Eeshvara is that he is all-knowing, and is your true self, and is the one who created the Maya you're experiencing - and therefore you have a guarantee that everything is going to turn out right eventually. However, as the fate unfolds, the ones who help you are the deities. That is, within Maya, you are bound to cause and effect by your own choice, and your goal is to navigate the maze and attain liberation. But in that process, when you're overcome by darkness, you need the help of deities to be the light that dispels it. Now Bhagavad Geeta points out the metaphysics, guides you to understanding it, and then also advises you to have Bhakti to your own Swaroopa as Eeshvara as part of Bhakti Yoga. And it doesn't directly recommend worshipping multiple deities. But the Swaroopa of any entity at all is Eeshvara. Therefo...
